Title: Copy Cat Bow
Post by: Sasquatch on May 06, 2016, 12:02:35 pm

 So through this site I have developed lots of friends.  One of those is Greg, Badly Bent.  Recently he sent a bow to me.  Wow what a bow.  The look the feel it was better than any of my previous bows by 100 times.  His bows are each a work of art.  I hope to some day be a s good at finishing and vision as he is.  I cant understand where he gets his inspiration for the finish work.  This is one of those bows that you say " I have to try one of those"  and that's exactly what I did.   This is a bow is a tribute to his skill.  Upon completion I realized that I have a lot to learn.   His is the green one mine is the rust color.

Cool!  Nice work on your bow Nathaniel and I'm happy to hear your enjoying the one I made for you. I recently copied one that was given to me in a trade as well.  Now if I only knew how to knap I'd be attempting to copy some of that awesome work you sent to me. :)
